The action follows a probe triggered by the death of Eugene Mutuku on Thursday, June 4, 2026, a 19-year-old KMTC medical student, in an incident involving a Nicco Sacco matatu.

According to preliminary accounts, Mutuku was allegedly assaulted and thrown from a moving vehicle following a fare dispute. The matatu is said not to have stopped after the incident and instead ran over the student, who later succumbed to his injuries before receiving medical attention.

Witnesses are reported to have given statements as investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident continue.
